For those of us who care deeply about books, the ultimate reading chair, shelf and statement mug telling people to "back off, I'm mid-chapter" are all deadly serious decorating choices.

Here are some suggestions to help all you fellow book nerds navigate your next home or room redesign.

-

The ultimate reading chair; West Elm, $1899

This soft, all-leather, cognac-coloured recliner features a pop-up foot rest and promises to age like a well-read copy of Anna Karenina.

-

Vintage library card holders; Luna Sol Retro, $329.47

Make any space into an authentic reading room. Bonus 'old library smell' come free of charge.

-

The reader's mug; Mugsby, $17.20

A clear and fair warning to anyone on the approach while you are mid-chapter.

-

Moby Dick book ends; ModCloth, $41.99

Because even when they're not being read, your books should be having a whale of a time.

-

Oversized bookcase; IKEA, $277

The IKEA Billy bookcase is the best option for loads of storage at a good price, and it's entirely hackable to fit any space. Check Pinterest for a cavalcade of ideas on how to make it work.

-

Statement print; The Midnight Rabbit, $10

A pretty and subtle statement for your home reading nook.

-

Reading lamp; West Elm, $249

Good lighting is essential to good reading. We like this industrial number for late-night, last-few-chapters binges.

-

Library card cushions; Dirt As Studio, $43

Particularly comfy for long, horizontal, couch-reading sessions.
